we've confused the ability to build something with actually knowing anything of value Am I reading this correctly? It seems to imply that the ability to build something is somehow orthogonal to knowledge of value. I don't know about throwing mud into a heap and then calling it sculpture, but if we are talking about the subset of "things" that have value in and of themselves, the ability to build them does imply some knowledge of value. Now, the relative value of knowing how to put together simple web sites using jQuery vs. the knowledge to discover Chaitin's Constant is very much worthy of discussion. But likewise, the knowledge of how to construct a true but unproveable statement in a toy system vs the knowledge of how to build VisiCalc and revolutionize programming is worthy of discussion as well.
